Question 11 please
10. Based on the table you completed above, do we think any of these substances would be viable to support life in our solar system? Why or why not? In the above table, we are given a range of temperatures on solar system bodies. Titan & Europa have a -ve temperature range so it is clear that water will remain freezer forever on these two moons as water freezes below 0 degrees celsius.Mercury, Venus & the moon ( earth's satellite) all have a very high upper limit of temperature so water & air will evaporate.So, we left with only Earth & Mars. Earth has a very suitable range of temperature that's why it is habitable while the upper limit of temperature on mars is still very low but with Constant heat, life can sustain on mars LOOKING FORWARD / HOME LEARNING: 11. How could we find whether there are substances that could support life on other planets?
